Dior vs. Gucci for ibanking

Ted:

Hey Eric, are you ready to start your summer internship at Goldman?

Eric:

Yeah, but I'm still figuring out whether to wear my Gucci suit or Dior Homme Suit on the first day, June 11th.

Ted:

I definately say you rock out the Dior Homme suit, paired with those gold emblazoned lofers that you picked up in SOHO in the fall of 05.

Eric:

O My God, that's lame (Eric pimpslaps Ted)

Ted:

What's your problem, I just want you to succeed. At least, rock those new $300 Tom Ford aviators on your first day. Walk into that building, swipe your Goldman card, and let the VP's tremble at your coming.

Eric:

You're probably right Ted, but I just want to go for that Pete Doherty skinny drug rock chic. I just don't know if I'll fit in with all the other Brooks Brother Eddie Wannabe's.

Ted:

Don't worry Eric, you're a badass. You're going to Rock Goldman.

Eric:

Let's do a little Weighted Average Cost of Capital modeling before we go to bed.

Ted:

Ok. What's the discount rate?

Eric:

8%.

Ted:

Ok. What's the duration on bond.

Eric:

(A pimpslap is laid upon Ted).

What? Duration? And You're going to be working at Goldman, why don't we call them and say you accepted an offer at Credit Suisse. Quit on your first day?

Ted:

Ok.

Ted: (Calling Goldman's HR Shantelle)

Hello. Hi, I'm a summer analyst who's quitting. I just can't take the long hours. It's too much.

Goldman HR:

Go to hell, we've got 30 to replace you. Bye.

And so awaked the analyst after falling asleep on a LBO model that's due in 5 minutes!
